APTS05-Transit Security (Market Package*)

Market Package Graphic       Transaction Set Diagram

Description

This market package provides for the physical security of transit passengers and transit vehicle operators. On-board equipment is deployed to perform surveillance and sensor monitoring in order to warn of potentially hazardous situations. The surveillance equipment includes video (e.g., CCTV cameras), audio systems and/or event recorder systems. The sensor equipment includes threat sensors (e.g., chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors) and object detection sensors (e.g., metal detectors). Transit user or transit vehicle operator activated alarms are provided on-board. Public areas (e.g., transit stops, park and ride lots, stations) are also monitored with similar surveillance and sensor equipment and provided with transit user activated alarms. In addition this market package provides surveillance and sensor monitoring of non-public areas of transit facilities (e.g., transit yards) and transit infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, and transit railways or bus rapid transit (BRT) guideways. The surveillance equipment includes video and/or audio systems. The sensor equipment includes threat sensors and object detection sensors as described above as well as, intrusion or motion detection sensors and infrastructure integrity monitoring (e.g., rail track continuity checking or bridge structural integrity monitoring).

The surveillance and sensor information is transmitted to the Emergency Management Subsystem, as are transit user activated alarms in public secure areas. On-board alarms, activated by transit users or transit vehicle operators are transmitted to both the Emergency Management Subsystem and the Transit Management Subsystem, indicating two possible approaches to implementing this market package.

In addition the market package supports remote transit vehicle disabling by the Transit Management Subsystem and transit vehicle operator authentication.

Early Deployment

This market package has been identified as an early deployment due to a promising combination of low risk implementation characteristics, developing public or private markets for the package, and tangible system or user benefits. ITS applications which improve the security of transit users are one of the tools available to transit agencies. Current US DOT support for these systems is demonstrated by their inclusion within the ITS Infrastructure initiative. Potential privacy issues associated with this Market Package must be considered and implementations selected which strike an appropriate balance between individual privacy and personal safety.
